The Washington Post's Bob Woodward ripped into President Barack Obama on "Morning Joe" today, saying he's exhibiting a "kind of madness I haven't seen in a long time" for a decision not to deploy an aircraft carrier to the Persian Gulf because of budget concerns.

"Can you imagine Ronald Reagan sitting there and saying, 'Oh, by the way, I can't do this because of some budget document?'" Woodward said.

"Or George W. Bush saying, 'You know, I'm not going to invade Iraq because I can't get the aircraft carriers I need?'" Or even Bill Clinton saying, 'You know, I'm not going to attack Saddam Hussein's intelligence headquarters,' ... because of some budget document?"

The Defense Department said in early February that it would not deploy the U.S.S. Harry Truman to the Persian Gulf, citing budget concerns relating to the looming cuts known as the sequester.

"Under the Constitution, the President is commander-in-chief and employs the force. And so we now have the President going out because of this piece of paper and this agreement. 'I cant do what I need to do to protect the country,'" Woodward said. "Thats a kind of madness that I haven't seen in a long time," he said.

Woodward's harsh criticism came after he stirred controversy last weekend by calling out Obama for what he said was "moving the goal posts" on the sequester by requesting that revenue be part of a deal to avert it.

--- tweeted Walter Kirn, who writes for the liberal journal The New Republic----seeing Obama lavishly gowned, replete with jewels, and, of all things, military guards, was a 'Creepy South American totalitarian-lite vibe....'"

NY Post opined: "Even President Ronald Reagan never busted in live on the Oscars, and Reagan was an actual movie star, academy member, and former president of the Screen Actors Guild. "

"(Reagan taped a non-self-aggrandizing enjoy the show welcome for the March 30, 1981, Oscars  which had to be delayed because he was shot that very day.)" (EXCERPT--NYP Oscar Review 2/26)

Woodward is ‘laying down cover fire’ for his comrades in media. While he makes noises that sound like the media is waking up, his comrades are fashioning the lext layer of lies in service to their liar-in-chief. Woodward is just as deceitful as the rest of his comrades because he serves ‘higher oligarchs’ who can strip him of wealth and life at a moments notice and he knows it.

"Under the Constitution, the President is commander-in-chief and employs the force. And so we now have the President going out because of this piece of paper and this agreement. 'I cant do what I need to do to protect the country,'" Woodward said.

That's bullshit, and it's a simple, yet effective political tactic that we've all seen employed time and time and time and time again.

I think Ive seen this ­Sequester movie before. Only it had a different title  it was called Prop 2 1/2 Override.

Obama and his common nightwalkers in the media are trotting out the exact same scare tactics that the local teachers unions and assorted municipal layabouts have been employing to frighten the bejesus out of taxpayers around here for decades.

It happens every spring. The schools need more money. The voters yawn. The school superintendent ups the ante and says, well, if you dont give us the extra money then the first thing well have to cut is the high school football team. Followed by the band. Not the third assistant associate deputy senior school superintendent making $120,000, but the football team. Then the selectmen threaten to close a fire station. Or lay off cops. The town dump? No longer open on weekends.

The problem for the hacks is, this shakedown may work the first time, maybe even the second. But as Barack Obama is now complaining privately, eventually the law of diminishing returns sets in. Before he embarked on this latest the-sky-is-falling campaign, perhaps Barack should have consulted with the little boy who cried wolf.

“Madness”,as used by the Brits at least,is meant to suggest mental illness which,all too often,is caused by a brain disorder...a chemical imbalance or structural abnormality of some sort.Osama Obama isn’t “mad”...his brain cells are firing in an entirely normal way.His problem is that he’s a psychopath...utterly devoid of conscience.It’s been suggest by some that Hitler might have had untreated syphilis which,over time,can really scramble the old brain cells.But Osama,like Stalin,Mao,Saul Alinsky and Bill Ayers before him,is just plain evil.Evil to the bone.

Poor Bob. What’s a career Libtard to do? Having willfully blinded himself to the Dems’ evil for so long, how can he regain any credibility as a reporter when Obama’s inner Wright emerges? He can’t. Shut up, Bob, and just go away.

Bob Woodward is very dangerous for Obama because he will tell the truth and people will listen.

Some may listen, but there is a generation or two of Obama voters who, I bet, have no idea who Bob Woodward is. That being the case, who out there is in a position to be the one to point out that the emperor has no clothes and to have the low information voters actually take note?

I won’t be very quick to toss Woodward aside on this. He is the legitimate Dean of American print journalism. Thousands of reporters today started out wanting to be Bob Woodward or Carl Bernstein. That’s why I think that what he’s saying now is important. I know he’s a lib. I know he’s loathe to criticize the one...but I also know that he’s doing it and has done it before. Having Bob Woodward open his eyes to obama’s abuses and talking about it...and thereby giving permission to the establishmnet press to do likewise, could be huge.

That’s what the unions do in CA and the dems they support go along. They threaten to close parks, starve kids and old people, fire teachers and police, etc. And it’s all because the unions want to get even higher wages, healthcare, pensions and paid vacation. I worked with unions and have seen it firsthand.

Der Fuehrer is inflicting madness on all of us that hasn't been seen on this level since FDR' reign of terror on the public and the economy. Let's face it, he is following FDR's playbook almost to the letter. The big difference is that back in those days the democrat party was still evil but not to the point that all of them were willing to kill their "cash cow". Today the kenyan is not only pushing us into the pits of a socialist hell, but he is also reviving the democrat heritage of creating a slave economy in which we are the tax slaves who work to support democrats and their voting "leisure" class.

FUBO & FAD

I'm not sure that Nixon was "corrupt".Foolish? You betcha.And maybe other things as well.But when analyzing the catastrophe that is Osama Obama the standard of measurement must be Stalin...Mao...Bill Ayers...Saul Alinsky.

Today’s media elites would do a better blacklist job on a journalist who strayed from the reservation quicker than McCarthy ever could/did. The alphabet media journalists tow the Pravda line and are never independent.

I think Obomas hate for man kind has driven him insane. I think he actually believes he's a divine being of some kind, and those who don't bow down and worship him are the "real" problem. I think he's friggen nuts.

He has no idea he's nothing but a social parasite like the rest his base. He's fed off the American teat all his life. He's always been a welfare slug. A french fry maker at McDonalds deserves more honor and respect.

Drive by any welfare complex, and you'll see people like the Obomas everywhere. Each one of them lusting after someone elses pay checks and calling their legalized theft some kind of an "entitlement".
